About Us

Storytelling is the best way to create chemistry with people.

Telling stories gives you more airtime with customers, colleagues and leaders. That’s because a great anecdote hooks people, takes them on an emotional journey and conveys a memorable message.

Stories that resonate with people inspire them to take action.

You can incorporate storytelling into your business in many ways.

Listening is just as important as telling. People show you their loves, hates and desires through their narratives. You can understand their motives and find a sweet spot that meets your business needs and theirs.

Claire Taylor

Chief Storyteller

Mine is a story of serendipity. As corporate Brand/Marketing Director turned consultant I’d become restless. A chance conversation in 2011 got me writing a blog of stories. It re-kindled a passion I’d had since childhood. A year later I trained as a storytelling performer. I was hooked!

The recession created a trust gap in business. The corporate world beckoned to me as a place where storytelling could create better connections between people. It was an opportunity to share what I’d discovered, enrich the working lives of others and help to rebuild trust in business.

The blog became a book called The Tao of Storytelling that was published in 2013. And we launched The Story Mill to bring storytelling into business. That’s where the story begins….

Chief Story Broadcaster

It’s a story of opposites attract. I’m the creative guy who loves technology. As a teenager I adopted the school computer during the holidays. Nerdy maybe – but it was the early ’80’s and computers were like science-fiction. By the early naughties I was leading a busy corporate IT function. But I’d left behind my passion for art & design. The digital age spelled an opportunity. The synergy of design and technology led me to creating a digital agency.

The world changed after the recession with a call for more authenticity from businesses hence the story revival. The digital revolution has created an opportunity to broadcast stories in blogs, videos, podcasts, on website and engage on social media.

That propelled me to co-found The Story Mill to bring the power of storytelling into businesses.
